I enjoyed this piece on the cognitive effects of AI over-reliance ('brain drain') by Erik Hoel, who concludes that 'pro-human bias and AI distrust are cognitively beneficial.'
Surely one of the big stories of most technology in the last decade though has been the attempt to remove friction from the user experience, and streamline use for the maximum amount of people possible - dumbing down.
Music software is a great example of that - to me it seems like the big developments this decade have been more about ease of use than about flexibility or expression. So many of these tools try to anticipate your workflow in advance, and close down avenues of use and opportunities for learning at the same time.
The result is a deluge of 'just good enough' music, and huge numbers of dissatisfied creatives who can't figure out why so few people are interested in their work.
Just on a quest to let go of old traumas and accept a new path of healing and bettering myself and aspects of my life day to day has been a massive blessing. You can’t help ur past but u can deffo learn and choose ur future! Don’t let the past dictate ur future 🙏🏽

I grafted 10+ years in music, unpaid, worked in call centres hating life just to be where I am today. If there’s one thing I despise it’s these complaining DJs. Stfu, u get paid to travel the world & play tunes. Count y’a blessings, ppl out here busting serious balls to pay bills
@I_Skream Apparently the resurgence is linked to the gradual faster tempo shift of tik tok, I think someone did a piece for Mixmag on it. I’m the same in the sense that as a Londoner I just don’t get it. Also annoying that some peeps just jumping on it with cheap untuned bait vocal samples
A first-class @Flaurese remix of ‘DEVOTION’ dropped today to kick off the @mild_minds 'IT WON’T DO (Remixes)’ EP 🌸
